Tam-Awww. I'm sorry it didn't work out like you wanted. *hugs* So you got your GED?

That's cool. Now that I know someone personally that's had it and died from it, I think I'll try to support the cause more. I should have before but I guess it wasn't on my radar. To be honest, I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not very into any cause. It's not that I don't care, I just use my energy elsewhere I guess.








Moi-Awww. I'm sorry to hear that. *hugs* I know what you mean. When I told my junior high teacher that I was having trouble she didn't believe me. :/ I guess because I didn't have trouble with anything else she just thought I was being lazy. The sad thing is, I could have done better with a little extra explaining. Oh well, I don't use or remember 99% of the math I was taught and now I can use a calculator. *laughs maniacally*

XD No. At least I hope not, I never thought of that. O.O I don't know where they get them. Most of the time they're old ones from eye doctor offices so I guess they're not used. I do think some were worn at one time so maybe their family sold them after they died?

That's nice of you not to resent them. A lot of children would. Most people blame everything on their parents even when they shouldn't.

Ok thanks. XD You're welcome. That's cool! I'm glad you got stuff you like.

No problem. I can't wait to see the new ones!

People shouldn't call you that. You totally have my permission to beat them up when they do. XD That will go over well with the cops. "But officer, she told me I could do it." O.O

Oooo! That sounds awful. XD My dad and brother were watching a movie last night where this guy was torturing and killing a dog in front of her owner. It was very disturbing to me so I got up to go in the other room. My dad questioned why I was leaving so I told him it was stupid to watch that and that I'm can't help that I'm too sensitive to watch that. I mean, did he just fall off the back of a turnip truck? He knows I'm highly sensitive and that I have a mega soft spot for animals. All I wanted to do was go in my room but Mom realized that I was upset from the other room so she asked me what was going on. When I told her she made Dad turn the movie off. I told her not to but she did it anyway. Dad got mad because he wanted to watch the disgusting film and took it out on me so I flipped out in self-defense. I'm so tired of his verbal and emotional abuse. I called him names and told him not to talk to me anymore and that he was just like his abusive father. I told him I wasn't like him and that I refuse to take his abuse like he did his dad's. *sighs* I meant it, and he deserved it, but I wasn't being a good Christian in that moment. The only good thing to come out of it is that he's avoiding me today. Sorry for the rant.

That's very mature of you. *nods* It sounds like they did a good job of raising you despite their own issues. Good for them. So many parents stop being parents when they're in the same shoes your parents were.

I'm the same way, even when it's cold out I have to be careful how warm I dress. I'm glad you don't overheat in them.

I kind of do that. Though I swear it's because I'm trying to find a common experience to talk about to contribute to the conversation rather than to one-up you.

Oh man, I wish I hadn't gone to my graduation, either. Bleh.

Your dad sounds like my dad, Rayven.

*wanders through in search of muffins*

Zia-I believe you on that. I can usually tell when someone is just sympathizing or just making conversation versus how my ex-husband was. I should have been more specific.

Awww, I'm sorry you have to go through it too. How do you handle your dad?







Moi-It does matter, they just don't understand.

Thanks. *hugs*

XD I mean, it sounds extreme but the guy probably abused animals more than just that one time or would have if it wasn't a guy in a comic.

Nobody is in all ways. I know I'm not. I talk for my animals, make random noises, and am just generally goofy as long as I'm in a good mood. XD

I enjoy that too. Nothing better than hot chocolate and/or a bonfire. I've been to people's houses that were like that. I kept having to go outside so I didn't melt. XD I smoked at the time so I had an excuse. I don't know what I'd say now. O.o "I'm sorry but will you please stop trying to cook me?" XD

Yup. No idea where I've put it, though.

Breast Cancer is an easy cause, at least. People sell a lot of nice pink things and then send a portion of the proceeds to support the cause. I used to buy a pen from the stationary shop each year, til it closed down. Now I have some pin back buttons and a soft scarf (that sheds like a cat) that looks like a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon.

Another cause I can go for now that I've stopped hating teddy bears is the Teddy for a Toonie that my bank does this time of year to raise money for two childrens' hospitals.

I don't resent my parents either, except sometimes, but when I catch myself I shut it up. (I'm just cranky about EVERYTHING sometimes, I think)

Awww. I couldn't do math when I was in school either, Moi. But when I went back to upgrade I made the honour roll. And stood there and stared at it in blank brained shock before pretty much running away so people would stop praising me.

Same here. Thanks for giving me words to explain it.

I never went to any graduation. Never been to anything that needed me to dress kind of formal.

*hug for Rayven*

I think I'm totally failing this event. There are just tasks I can't do. And... what am I supposed to do with these flowers?
